The H&M group said that its sales including VAT increased by 7 percent
in local currencies in June 2017 compared to the same month the previous
year. Converted into SEK sales increased by 10 percent.

The total number of stores in the group amounted to 4,517 on June 30,
2017 compared to 4,095 stores at the end of the same month last year.

The company said that it has decided to arrange Capital Markets Days
during which more in-depth information about the business will be given and
has also decided – in consultation with its large institutional
shareholders – to publish the group’s sales development per quarter instead
of per month.
